Isaiah Thomas is about the shortest of the current PG crop it seems -5’9’. About PoD’s height I seem to recall.

A spin down the Knicks depth chart the PG height range is 6’2” to 6’4”. So by some twisted logic SPR is just as not-tall-enough as me. Kinda.

Not NBA quality hops but I can touch/ grab the rim and I have dunked in the past (just about!). Don't think running is good for jumping ability though :-(

The 3 point shooting is what it's about now. Unfortunately I was good inside and decent at penetration off the dribble but a shaky outside shooter.

Isaiah Thomas is who I came up with via google as well.

Lol @ your logic Grep.

Gobi - the event description for this morning's Cat E endurance ride was that it wasn't a race. The majority of riders were racing and at >3w/kg
Not bothered about it, I just kept on with what I planned to do, but some of them seemed a little confused that I didn't want to jump onto a group.
There were other people not racing as well.
I know now that event descriptions are not necessarily an accurate prediction of reality.

Ah the E ride between 1 - 5WKG - Learning to just put out the power I want and ignore all others. I have had the chat where someone offered to tow me back to the group on a sub 2Wkg group ride and I was happily riding alone at 1.9. I calmly said I was doing the advertised ride and when pushed said "Oh I'm an A Cat racers and can hold 4.6 Wkg for 20 mins but thats not what I need today :¬)

I think a lot of people who are scared to actually race hide in these rides

Most group rides are a zoo and end up nothing like advertised. I avoid them; I have custom workouts built for various ride lengths and intensities and can just noodle away with out any of the hassle.

At one of my previous works we had a strange ‘Alton Byrd’ game. Someone would say ‘I’m Alton Byrd’ in the way he used to when introducing a weekly basketball (?) show, then it would ping around the office ‘no I’m Alton Byrd’ ‘he’s Alton Byrd’ ‘are you Alton Byrd’ etc. No idea why, just one of those things to pass the time. Odd.
